| description | The reason why I choose the subject "Warts on teats of Dairy Cows" was because the
herd I work with has big problems with skin-complaint on teats and udder.
So I found it interesting to try to find the reason why the cows look like they do and
even to find a way to relieve the trouble.
The examine work included both a literature research, an experimental test,
concerning a comparison of different teat sprays and also an inquiry-research about
the occurrence of warts in practical herds in order to collect as much facts as possible.
Three companies, selling different types of teat disinfectants, were willing to sponsor
the teat dipping experiment. The aim of the experiment was to see if any special
disinfectant had more pronounced healing effects on teat warts. The date for the
experiment was 18th December 2004 to 22nd January 2005, which was going to be 5
weeks.The experiment was carried out in the herd of Ola and Eskil Carlsson in
Fjärlöv, Hässleholm.
The three compared teat spray chemicals were; Nova Viri Sun, Nardosept, and
BlockadeTM. These chemicals were compared to one control group, which teats were
treated with the ordinary chemical normally used in the herd, i.e. Cide SPRAY.
Unfortunately, the experiment did not show any distinct differences or results.
The inquiry was delivered by mail to 65 dairy farmers in the area of Göinge in the
beginning of November 2004. Answers came from 43 farmers. The information from
the farmers was analysed and presented in tables.
Neither this moment showed any distinct differences or results, which I was looking
forward to. But there were some interesting hints, for example it seems to be more
herds, with warts, in tied-stalls compared to loose-housing systems.
In the beginning of the literature research it seemed to be rather difficult to find any
facts about warts on dairy cows. But after a lot of research, I was lucky to get into
contact with Stefan Alenius, SLU in Uppsala. He had a lot of knowledge about virus
and gave me also many tips.
From the literature review it seems clear that not all of the "wounds" on the teats of a
dairy cow have to be warts. There are at least three other virus diseases, which can be
a reason to "spots" likely warts, on teats and udder. Warts (Bovine Papilloma virus)
seams to be the mildest one.
Even if there are no spectacular results from the inquiry research or the teat dipping
experiment, I hope that this project can mediate, to the reader, some facts about warts
and other kind of "suffering" which can hit the teats of a dairy cow! |

Att detta examensarbete skulle handla om någonting som rör kor var ganska självklart, men att det skulle handla om ”Vårtor på mjölkkornas spenar” är av den anledningen att i den besättning där jag arbetar, har kor och kvigor stora angrepp av hudåkommor på spenar och juver. Så det var i mitt intresse att försöka ta reda på varför korna såg ut som de gjorde och om det fanns något man kunde göra föra att lindra besvären. Efter att ha funderat på hur jag skulle göra för att få tag på så mycket fakta som möjligt, beslöt jag mig för att göra en litteraturgenomgång och även både enkätundersökning om förekomsten av vårtor och ett försök. Jag började mitt arbete med att försöka få tag i sponsorer till försöket och att bestämma lämplig tidpunkt för försökets utförande, vilket blev från den 18 december 2004 till den 22 januari 2005. Försöket utfördes i den besättning där jag arbetar, vilket är hos Ola och Eskil Carlsson i Fjärlöv, Hässleholm. I försöket användes och kontrollerades tre olika preparat, Nova Viri Sun, Nardosept och BlockadeTM. Dessa prepartat jämfördes med en kontrollgrupp som spendoppades med det spendopp som normalt använd i besättningen. Tyvärr har inte försöket visat några tydliga skillnader och resultat. Enkäten var färdigredigerad och skickades ut i början på november 2004. Det skickades ut 65 enkäter till mjölkproducenter i Göingebygden. 43 svar kom tillbaka. Dessa lästes och analyserades och har sammanställts i tabellform. Även detta moment gav inte så mycket tydliga skillnader och resultat som jag hoppats på. Men en del intressanta antydningar kom fram, exempelvis att det verkar som fler uppbundna besättningar har angrepp än besättningar i lösdriftstallar. Att leta fakta och arbeta med litteraturundersökningen har varit uppgifter nu under våren. Först var det trögt och det verkade nästan som en omöjlighet att få fram fakta om vårtor på spenar. Men efter mycket letande och så hade jag turen att komma i kontakt med Stefan Alenius på SLU i Uppsala. Genom honom fick jag mycket goda tips. Av litteraturundersökningen lärde jag mig bland annat att det finns mer hudåkommor än vårtor som kan angripa spenar och juver. Där finns i alla fall tre andra virussjukdomar som också ger utslag på spenar och juver. Vårtor (Bovine Papilloma virus) verkar vara den lindrigaste. Även om det inte finns några sensationella resultat av enkätstudien och försöket så hoppas jag med detta arbete att kunna förmedla till läsaren, fakta om vårtor och andra lidande på mjölkkons spenar och juver! 2005-10-25 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/11562/1/ekberg_m_171003.pdf Ekberg, Maria, 2005.
